Such a doom is often more dreaded than death. A South- ern judge has recently declared on the bench, that slaves com of crime, prefer imprisonment for life to their condition on a plan- tation. Is not freedom dear to man? I9 not personal bondage a bitter cup? Ask him who has " no hope" <'f redemption from it except in the grave. Ask him who has braved the terrors of death and a pursuer's vengeance. Ask Patrick Henry. Ask any man but a slave-catcher, or his official jackall, or his Northern voluntary blooddiound. Ask your own heart. (2. ) — But the slave has committed no offence by running away. True, the slaveholder at home deems his ofTencc unpardonable. If he catch him there, he flogs him within an inch of his life; But he dare not bring that charge in a Free State; and when conscience speaks, he himself knows it is false. Escape is no offence by the moral Jaw, nor yet by positive law. Neither by the Federal Con- stitution and laws; nor even by those of a Slave State. For <; where no law is, there is no transgression;" and a Virginia Sena- tor in Congress said; "lam not aware that there is a single Slate in which the institution is established by jwsitivc law" According- ly, no legal instrument is allowed to call escape a crime; neither the statute, nor the writ, nor the certificate of condemnation and delive- ry.
